This install is on a roof next to a parapet so mounting a stiff arm to the parapet will probably be the way to go. Thanks for the info guys, most helpful. On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 7:48 PM, Erich Kaiser er...@northcentraltower.com wrote: Rohn 25 would not work, you would be better off with 4.5

You need an actual 10 foot tower. You could engineer that to be non penetrating. The dish needs a stabilizer arm to tie back to something. Otherwise you will be visiting it often. If it’s licensed a 1 degree movement could mean the difference between a -60 and a -70. You could do something

Hmm the tower idea is a not bad. I have a ROHN 25 sitting in the back. I could make a sled for it. Would a 25 work? Or is it too flimsy? On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Justin Wilson - MTIN li...@mtin.net wrote: You need an actual 10 foot tower. You could engineer that to be non penetrating.

I'd maybe look at something from Baird instead: https://www.bairdmounts.com/products/wireless They have some big beefy non-pen mounts that will hold some pretty good sized antennas, all engineered, etc. On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 1:34 PM, Sam Lambie samtaos...@gmail.com wrote: Hey all, I am

Rohn 25 would not work, you would be better off with 4.5 15ft pipe non-pen and a separate non-pen for stiff arm, it would need to be angled toward the weight of the non-pen. I have a non-pen with 15ft 4.5 pipe, just cant remember brand name at this moment. Are you mounting on a roof or anywhere
